LO 26 SXC vs LO 26 SX
The LO 26 SXC provides higher capacity than the standard LO 26 SX. The LO 26 SXC is rated at 9.2Ah with pulse capability up to 10A, while the LO 26 SX is rated at 7.75Ah with pulse capability typically up to 5A. Both are D-size, 3.0V-class Li-SO₂ spiral cells.
The standard LO 26 SXC cell is supplied with resin potting in the topshell area and two radial nickel tabs; other terminations can be available depending on configuration requirements.
Important: The LO 26 SXC is a primary, non-rechargeable lithium battery. Always verify the required voltage, current profile, termination and mechanical dimensions before replacing an existing battery.
